Keep Reading And You Won't Be Able To Stop. Note: Some Of The Contents are R18+ * Quinn, a 17-year-old high school student, was already struggling with the chaos of puberty. No girlfriend, peer pressure, and acne - his life was a hot mess. But little did he know, things were about to take a drastic turn! Quinn woke up in a coffin (because, why not?) with zero memory of how he got there. As he stumbled out, he was greeted by a motley crew of strange-looking people who bowed down to him like he was royalty. And then, the kicker: they called him the Demon King! Quinn's reaction? "Uh, nope. Wrong guy. I'm just a human, dude." But here's the thing: in this weird new world called Pandora, there's an ancient prophecy that says the Demon King will wake up and conquer all nine kingdoms. And guess who's now stuck with that job? Quinn, the reluctant Demon King! Quinn's first thought? "Can I just go back home now?" But then he saw the girls. Oh, the girls. They were freaking adorable! Quinn's second thought? "Screw going back home. I'll just stay here and, uh, 'research' the local flora... and fauna... and cute girls." With zero experience in ruling, magic, or even basic demon-ology, Quinn must start from scratch. He just wants to learn to wield his newfound powers, deal with the weight of this prophecy, and somehow not get too distracted by these cute girls that are everywhere. Wish him luck! (He's gonna need it)

TRIGGER WARNING : R19+ / Mature Content What they expected when Holy Azarese Elyzena was born was a daydream. She is the third lady descended in a patrilineal lineage; it is her fate to become the next Empress after her mother. However, when Empress Siofra never opened her eyes again after giving birth to her, that is when they know she is another nightmare. Holy Azarese Elyzena was born with sinister curses; all bring death. No one could dare touch her, afraid to meet their end. Her father despised her for taking the love of his life from him. Her brothers avoided her. Her family cannot even look at her. She acted cutely; she tried being clumsy, she did everything to get an ounce of their affection, but they never gave her any, not even a drop. "Father, I did not ask to be born!" she sobbed pitifully in front of her father, who only glared at her with contempt. Since then, she became desperate until she became the person she never wanted to be. She never asked to be born, and she never asked to be born again. She only wanted to end her suffering. So why, when she opened her eyes, was she back to the time she was born? With the second chance given to her, will she avoid becoming the wicked Empress again, or will she drop her crown and choose which path to take?

When talking about World War 3, most people usually imagine a nuclear apocalypse or nuclear war. A war that will completely exterminate human civilization, leaving only radiation and the ruins of destroyed cities on Earth. What if, however, in a parallel universe in which the Soviet Union survives after 1991, nuclear weapons don't exist, and World War 3 is a war with the most advanced weapons from both NATO and the Soviet Union? A place where M1A1 Abrams and T-14 Armata collide and tremble the ground, where F-35 and Su-57 terrorize the skies. How would a war like this look like? And what if, even military weapons that were thought to come out of science fiction, such as laser guns, jetpacks, and lightsabers are used in The Third Human Global Conflict? Although everything would appear to be incredibly epic, it all began with a simple terrorist attack on New York City, which would slowly drive humans toward total annihilation. ---------------NOTE--------------- In this novel, I will call NATO as The Alliances, because the Alliances is a league where all anti-communist nations come together rather than just "North Atlantic nations". Also, everything in the Novel is entirely fictional, meaning that the whole world history in this novel is all made up and based on the real world, so don't accuse me of historical inaccuracies.

The second part of Spectres of the Past follows James Spectre's son, Prince Spectre in 1962 as he, along with a small group of Manifesto users are tasked with going to Moscow to stop the Soviet threat before they unleash powerful new weapons on the world. During his journey, Prince must fight against new enemies, confront figures from his past, and learn for himself how he can keep smiling in an ever changing world.

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"

This is a story taking place in a universe were all kinds of supernatural beings, and beasts live, also striving for the ultimate evolution to stand above all. We will follow a young god through his rise to the peak of universe. But first we’ll talk about his home galaxy. A large galaxy that resided at the edge of the universe. It was a spectacular view from space. The beautiful vibrant colors of The Godly Garden Galaxy. The colors moved in a spiral like clouds. That varied from shades of blue,green,yellow, and orange. As we move in closer to his home dual blue dwarf star system. The two suns were like two lovers in a field of flowers spinning in a perfect circle. While holding hands. The suns stayed on opposite sides, perpetually chasing each other. While almost 30 planets resided around the chasing stars. Only 5 planet’s resided in the habitable zone around the suns. The biggest planets resided on the ends of the line of planets. Looking at the largest most lush looking planet. You could see multiple large continents. The planet must of been double the size of Jupiter. Overwhelmingly massive, causing an abundance of life to flourish. From dog sized squirrels to enormous dragons. All supernatural are a natural occurrence here. The entire planet was humid, and hot. Causing all places to have tropical environments.
